Example 1-3
The rotor as above-mentioned of diameter 190mm is used to remain on the degassing of AlSi10Mg alloy of 720 ℃ 200Kg.The gas that uses is the drying nitrogen of flow as 15L/min.Rotating speed was 450rpm, finished the degassing (example 1) through 5 minutes.By determined before handling and after density metal index (DI) evaluate the efficient of rotor.Calculate DI with following formula:
DI = Datm - D 80 mbar Datm × 100
Herein, Datm is the density of the metal sample that can under atmospheric pressure solidify, and D80mbar is the density of the sample that can solidify under vacuum tightness 80mbar.The DI value of sample is high more, and the hydrogen content of metal is just high more.
Except the rotating speed that uses is 350rpm (example 2: in 5 minutes treatment times, do 2 times; Example 3: in 3 minutes treatment times, do 2 times) outside, finishes example 2 and 3 as example 1.
Comparative example 1-3
In order to compare, the top of removing rotor is not provided with outside any otch, for the corresponding example of use with example 1 identical rotor, finishes the degassing under the same conditions.
The result
(DI) reduces the aspect about density index, and its results list is as follows, and represents with figure line in Fig. 3-5 (each examples/comparative examples 1-3).Can have identical initial DI exactly though be appreciated that the material that does not have two batches of fusings, easily demonstrate: rotor of the present invention provides the significant improvement that surpasses comparable rotor, and described comparable rotor has each otch of the expression of being omitted.For example, can see from table 2 and Fig. 3: after processing, the D I of example 2 (twice operation) is half of comparative example 2, even (operation 2) also is like this when initial D I is higher.

When the degassing time reduced, relatively the efficient of rotor reduced (comparative example 3), and rotor of the present invention (example 3) on ID keeps significantly reducing.
Example 4 and comparative example 4 and 5
The LM25 melt of 250Kg is made in burning the stove that in batches takes out of geseous fuel.The material package of loading is drawn together the mixture of new blank and scrap stock.Rotor in each test is contained on the machine in proper order, and described machine can be controlled lance rotation speed and rare gas element spraying pressure.For example 4 and comparative example 4, speed setting is 350rpm, and is 550rpm (rotating speed of manufacturer recommendation) for comparative example 5.Rare gas element uses nitrogen, and that spraying pressure keeps in whole test is constant.
Each rotor is finished 3 degassing operations.Each initial, the contents level of gas in metal is by the accurate Faseco Hydral[TM of amount] gassed out zone immerses melt and comes lifting artificially.Also expect to go to reduce the metal cleanliness that the oxide compound by minute cleaved surface causes by the turbulent flow that this operation produces.
For each 15 minutes total time, the above-mentioned degassing operates in 5 minutes and finishes in the increment.Provide density index value at each initial and per 5 minutes ends at interval with MK 3VT Vacuum Density Unit (MK GmbH-MK 3VT vacuum density unit).Also used 3Alscan[TM aspect the number of times of direct measurement hydrogen content selecting to provide] the hydrogen analyser.Use Prefil and measure metal cleanliness in initial and per 15 minute cycle.
Prefil (Pressure Filtration-filtering under pressure) test has provided the online quantified measures of oxide films and other inclusion.Under steady temperature and pressure, monitor the flow of molten metal, and be used to draw the line chart of filtering weight the time by microfilter.At duration of test, be accumulated in filter surfaces soon such as inclusion in the metal of oxide films, reduced flow by strainer.Therefore, filtering weight has been indicated the contents level that is present in the inclusion in the metal to the gradient and the overall shape of the curve of time.The initial slope of oxide films influence curve (20~30 seconds).They represent with straight line, and described straight line has with oxide films and increases and the gradient that reduces.Such as TiB 2, thin Al 2O 3Or the particulate inclusion of carbide makes the curve off-straight in the Prefil test.The point that begins to depart from initial slope from curve can be extrapolated fine grain loading capacity.
Except that filtration curve, the type of the inclusion in the metal sample that will implement to test can be discerned and quantitatively be present in to the metallography analysis that is deposited in the residuum on the strainer after the Prefil test.
Example 4
Rotor as mentioned above and be similar to example 1, but have 140mm than minor diameter.
Comparative example 4
Rotor is as employed among the comparative example 1-3, but diameter is 140mm.
Comparative example 5
Rotor has the 140mm diameter shown in Fig. 1 b.
The result
Density index
The test of the DI value in the table 4 shows: the rotor of example 4 is similar to the rotor of comparative example 5 on degassing efficiency, and in the beginning of operating 5 minutes, both outgas melt fast, only have small improvement, if any; Obtained improvement other 5 minutes the time continuing to outgas.But the low working speed of example 4 rotors has good action to rotor/jet pipe life-span.
The rotor of comparative example 4 is degassers of minimum efficiency.Compare it with other two rotors and reach low density index with the longer time, and obtain Schwellenwert 2.5% after 15 minutes, it is accessible to be higher than other two rotors significantly: after 15 minutes<0.75%.
The step-down power test that is used to estimate the gas porous tendency of melt is to use the simple experiment of robust equipment.Yet it can not directly measure hydrogen content, and it is responsive for restive variable; These variablees are in this way all: the difference of sample thief aspect between each operator, and the variation of metal cleanliness (gas is separated out nuclear) aspect, or even from the vibration of cell floor.Alscan has provided the direct measuring method of hydrogen content, and irrelevant with these variablees.Good corresponding relation (not providing data) is arranged between Alscan method of masurement under laboratory condition and the density index.

Metal cleanliness
The curve of drawing for rotor is shown among Fig. 7-9.The rotor curve (Fig. 9) of comparative example 5 shows: after degassing operation in 15 minutes, the degree of cleaning of molten metal worsen always.Off-straight when curve overturns shows owing to oxide films makes the strainer obstruction that becomes.The observation of doing during this Pass Test, promptly this rotor has caused tangible turbulent flow and melted surface has been wrapped in a large amount of metals.
The curve that example 4 and comparative example 4 (being respectively Fig. 7 and Fig. 8) obtain more thickly flocks together.In some example, because the result of the degassing, metal cleanliness improves, and in other example, it degenerates a little.Yet be apparent that: the curve ratio that is obtained by two rotors has a steeper gradient by what comparative example 5 obtained, and they can not divide upset same degree, shows the lower aq level of oxide compound.These results are considered to: the rotor of example 4 (with comparative example 4) is to not significantly effect of metal cleanliness (favourable or deleterious).
Used the rotor of comparative example 5 under rotating speed 350rpm, to carry out further test.Bubble form has changed fully, and big bubble appears on the surface of melt, and metal is thrown into common casting area from stove simultaneously.Test for reasons of safety and abandoned.
